In the dynamic attributes, when doing animation. You get to choose how much it rotates, so you can choose any degrees if you want.

RE: GE not rendering line work from SU model...
Bit late here, but line works are don't show up because they are physically nothing. If you need to show a gap between floors, you need to either make a physical gap (12" high and push/pull inwards). Or you can draw two lines (12" apart) and paint in black so that it'll appear.

RE: Lost model????
Do you use Podium (for sketchup rendering) by any chance, I use to have a problem with the old version (SU that if I left Podium Manager open, it would cancel any auto-save or save but I wouldn't know, so I'd save like usual but next time I opened it, it was the old model prior to me opening Podium Manager.

RE: Printing to scale
Hi Joe,
I'd recommended you use Layout (comes with Pro) to do your printing. In Layout you can have a viewport to your SketchUp model and choose the scale there. In Layout you can also add in text easier, create a presentation to include any notes, scales, legends, etc.
I never print directly from SketchUp. -
RE: Hide/Show only every Nth Copied Instance?
@pcmoor said:
only variable that acts as a counter is copy
so need to make an expression using this when comparing to other variablesknow each object is copy+1
also its a multiple of the "missing rate" (num)
however sometimes its a perfect division other times not
so need to make a formula which gives the decimal part of the division
=(copy+1)/num-int((copy+1)/num)
then use this as if statement
Sorry pcmoor, my math stills arent tha advanced, that went over my head.
Tried out your model (after writing my post), yours works and can update (which i couldn't figure out)EDIT:
I get it! after i stared at the INT i realized we were on the same track, i think just seeing all the variables put into one formula confused me -
RE: Hide/Show only every Nth Copied Instance?
I think I kinda got something going:
Nth=3(or any other number)
Formula A: =copy/3
example: 8/3 = 2.6667
Formula B: =INT(copy/3)
example: 8/3 = 2
Formula =Formula A - Formula BHidden: =IF(Formula C = 0, 0, 1)
I worked once for my example, but when i changed the number of copies, it didn't auto redraw to redo the formula.
Hopefully someone here can finish this with native tools, it's a puzzle I'd like to see solved without plug-ins -
RE: Hide/Show only every Nth Copied Instance?
I suppose there's a math formula for this, I just don't know it. Otherwise, if you don't plan on having many copies, you can do a really long IF statement to hide copy 3, 6, 9, etc). Maybe add another variable to test copy# so that you can easily change what Nth number you want hidden.
Thinking out loud, I'm thinking having a variable to calculate the total copies/# (like 3)='A', and with that number you'll get the total amount of copies you need hidden. And then somehow get every 3x# up to 'A' hidden... -
RE: I don't understand dynamic component scaling
Yea I tried adding quotes and it just didn't work.
I don't why it won't redraw automatically. I have same problem with my models.I have a dynamic table with option for amount of chairs to appear (Copy function), however if I scaled/change the the table height, the main chair height will scaled proportionally, but all the copy chairs won't. Very frustrating, my only way is to choose table height first before choosing chairs amount.

RE: Google earth terrain problem
In Pro, you can hide buildings. But I'm using legacy mode (the old user submitted drawings), haven't tried the hide function with the new GE buildings

RE: I don't understand dynamic component scaling
I have noticed sometimes sketchup adds the 0.000000000random little number, and yea, never figured it out
